Who's behind KidCall
A dad, a founder, and a promise to his daughter.
KidCall is built by Yvan Alix Levy — UCLA alumnus, entrepreneur and father of a 4-year-old girl.
Why KidCall
The few minutes that started everything.
On the last day of a family vacation in Rhodes, Greece, Yvan lost sight of his 4-year-old daughter for a few minutes. She was safe — but she was crying because she thought she was lost, and she had no way to reach her parents. At four, she couldn't use a phone.
That morning, KidCall began: one big button that lets a child call Mom or Dad. No screen, no apps, no games. Just the simplest possible way to say "I need you."
